In an effort to offset some of the eventual bad habits she might learn from us, like scratching her parts in public or asking a member of the wait staff for some ketchup to put on her steak, we're trying to get Leta to ask for things nicely. It's the least we could offer humanity.
Whenever she demands something that isn't unreasonable, like chocolate candy for breakfast or maybe some ice in her bourbon, we stop her and tell her not to ask us like that. "Say please," one of us will say, and then we wait for her to comply. If she doesn't then we try something more convincing. Like spanking. Or yanking her fingers out of their sockets.
We didn't realize that after she says please both of us were praising her with a hearty, "That's right!" until she started tacking that on to her request: "More chips, please, that's right!" And now when we tell her to ask nicely she always includes "that's right!" plus an extra "huh?" because it's all she ever hears.
If both Jon and I were forced to take that one word out of our vocabulary this house would suddenly become a family of mutes.
Here is an audio clip of Leta asking nicely.

aww..she's so adorable!

My firstborn said Please and Thank you in Sign language when he was seven months old. This weekend I asked baby #3 "What do you say?" She looked at me very confused and said, "Gimme it?"
3. Erica America said:
Love the Leta audio huh! I am always amazed at how Southern you sound Heather.
4. hopefulloser said:
That's right! that's awesome :-)
5. Bella said:
Glad to see we aren't the only ones who allow ice in their bourbon ;)
6. Vicky said:
Awwww! :) Tiny bit of sarcasm there too, methinks? Heh.
7. Beverlee said:
That's so funny. You guys have REALLY got to watch what you're saying around that little gal! Please ... that's right.
8. Wendy Mac said:
Adorable, that's right!
At least when you ask her, "What do you say?" she doesn't say, "NOW".
Just wait :-)
9. Torrie said:
I think you've got the lyrics to the next summer dance hit on your hands.
"PLEASE!!!That's right!"
10. Fox said:
I love the long belaboured PWEEEEASE, that's right.
Makes it so much more meaningful. No really, PWEEEEEASE.
Best thing to tell her, If she asks for ice in her bourbon nicely, the bartender is more likely to give her more. Nicely.
11. jw said:
You've got this parenting thing down cold! I like Mania's style as well.
Bundle of Joy #2, an adorable boy, once told a sweet little old lady in the store who dared to speak to him, "Shutty uppy!"
Fortunately the old bat couldn't hear.
12. vwsista said:
Awww... that is too damn cute.
I love to hear you, too, Heather.
13. tk said:
That was just the cutest thing ever!!!
Please tell me you are going to put the video clip of the reading/farting session back up. I missed getting to see it before you temporarily removed it.

About the sleeping thing...
I have a baby who does that... asks to go to bed.
I'm thinking of selling her for 309 million (cash, small unmarked bills). I'm quite certain she's worth more than that, but I don't want to be greedy.
15. Vaguely Urban said:
I love the slightly patronizing emphasis on PWWEEEASE. That's right, Leta!
16. ktjane said:
can i have a leta too? please, that's right!
she is so precious!
17. J_Bo said:
How cute is she?
I just read your sleeping post. Is Leta going through a growth spurt? My first would ask to go to bed in the afternoon, or early in the evening and when she woke up, her face would be a bit more mature and she'd be a hair taller. She's almost nine now and still does this, and is almost taller than me.
18. rebecca said:
I used to babysit a little boy who, when I would say "Say please!" would reply "You're welcome!" I guess that's better than nothing.
19. kawaface said:
awww...how adorable. i could detect your southern accent, as well!
20. Camille said:
My son, who is about a month older than Leta, says "Please welcome yeah" with an emphatic nod of his head.
21. Pupsicle said:
How funny! Isn't it amazing the way that they absorb not only the words you use, but the syntax and grammar as well?
22. Mia said:
Multimedia days on your site make me SO happy! She's hilarious.
23. BeachMama said:
All I ever ask is that the demand comes with a "please".
24. Sandra Heikkinen said:
Such little parrots. My niece is currently very busy telling everyone, "I look very pretty" with great certainty (she just got her first REAL haircut).
25. wrensuicide said:
SO. CUTE.
What was she asking for? There were lots of "eeee"s in the "pwease", so it must have been something good.
26. KfK said:
That is funny. Children absorb EVERYTHING! I can't imagine how many people are going to take you seriously with the bourbon and spanking humor. Get ready for the insults!
27. rch7279 said:
That is so so cute!
28. Rose said:
Ketchup on the steak? Dear Lord, is that a Hudson Hawk reference? Please tell me it isn't - I couldn't love the blurbodoocery any more, and if you're closet Hudson Hawk fans, my brain will explode.
Leta is just too sweet! Hope you are all well!
29. painterly1 said:
Heather,
I felt the need to tell you how much I enjoy your witty, talented writing. It's like reading good literature with the added bonus of knowing that it is actually someone's real life. Thank you.
30. Jonniker said:
Gah, that's priceless. Almost makes me want to run out and have one.
Almost. Not quite, but close.
31. painterly1 said:
Heather,

32. Heather said:
Too cute! I love when they learn to say please and thank you. My two year old says, "Gank ew, Mommy." Rarely does she ever say please spontaneously, but she will if we ask her to.
33. dooce said:
sadly, Rose, I had to ask Jon who Hudson Hawk was. he wasn't sure.
34. Candice said:
Cute!
My niece is nine months, and I've taught her the sign language for "please." When she wants something and I tell her to use the sign, she moans and begrudgingly slaps her hand against her chest. It looks suspiciously like the thing people do when they think something is retarded...
35. sasha said:
They are little sponges, aren't they?
At least "huh?" is less offensive than some of the things I've heard parroted back to me lately: "Mama, why did you say Jesus Fuck?" That's my boy.
36. The Barb said:
I listened because I could, because you put it out there and because my babies are 18, 16 1/2 and 10 and they will never ever say "pleeeease that's right, huh?" ever again in their lives...

Here's something else you can teach her. Grabbing boobs is inappropriate (unless maybe you're auditioning for girls gone wild.
A friend's 3 year old grabbed my C cup at a bbq and said "WHAT'S THAT?" As I pulled her hand away, her mother not so endowed mother busted out laughing.
39. marnie said:
Waiter: I am the waiter sir.
Bruce Willia: Oh. Very nice. Fettucini con fungi porcinni. Prego. Oh, and bring me a bottle of ketchup, will ya?
Waiter: Ketchup! Ketchup!!! Stupid Americanos always ketchup...
Legendary Hudson Hawk. You and Blurb watch and let's see if Rose's head actually does explode. Then my head will explode. Chaos everywhere... induced by Hudson Hawk. The world will never be safe again!
40. marnie said:
Yeah..
I meant Bruce WILLIS there. Sorry my typing is off today. I thanks everyone for their incontinence (instead of inconvenience) in a mass email. I should remain in bed.
41. Angella said:
Adorable! It's amazing how these little beings help you see what phrases you use without even thinking. Apparently I say "sweet" a lot :)
42. KSharp said:
So cute! I love how she makes it one long phrase ... pweeeasethatsrighthuh. Thanks for the laugh!
43. tksinclair said:
I used to live for your blog entries (I know, get a life, right?) but now I live for the tiny audio clips. How I wish they had technology when my kids were little - besides cans and string - listening to Leta I can easily imagine their little voices and it honestly brings joy to my heart and tears to my eyes every dang time. It never fails to smack me right in the heart and make me want to scoop all the work on my desk into the trash can and get out the photo albums. Thanks for sharing that. It made a very rough work day end so sweet.
44. angiewis said:
The "huh" is especially funny to me. My 2 1/2 year old son recently started saying "WHAAAAT?!?!".
I had no idea where he picked it up until I caught myself saying it in response to one of his full sentences of gibberish.
45. Melanieflorida said:
Sometimes Leta makes me want to reach into the computer and squeeze her cheeks. Her little voice and her little ponytails (and her little farts) are too cute for words. You're pretty damned lucky.
46. Elizabeth said:
oh my lord, dying from the cuteness! so hilarious.
47. CartwheelsAtMidnight said:
This made me, my 17-year-old and my 11-year-old Crack Up. Love love love the audio clips. Keep 'em comin' please, that's right, huh?
48. AndreaBT said:
That was so sweet and hysterical! I'm still laughing...
49. timothyjlambert said:
At least she's not saying, "Please. That's right, shitforbrains."
50. TripTikGirl said:
That's the sweetest little voice I've ever heard...
51. elephantmama said:
You've gotten her trained well! Very cute!
When my three year old wants food, he says, "Gimme snack!" I'll reply, "No, say May I have a snack please?" He'll smartly say, "Yeah, snack!" Like Duh, mom, that's what I meant the whole time!
52. brainiac said:
AAAAGGHH!! Must....resist....baby....lust....
I can't, I don't, I shouldn't, I won't, think about having more kids but OHHHHHH that voice!! OHHHHH maybe I could stand having just one more. Somebody slap me before I do something crazy.
53. tksinclair said:
I can't help but wonder if you posted these sound clips on iTunes how much money you'd make.
54. sylvia said:
The Leta audio is precious and sweet and I love it, but the one that makes me laugh out loud just remembering it is Heather's, "Is this thang on?" I'm cackling as I type.
55. Angel said:
Every day should have a Leta soundbite :)
When my daughter was 3, I was so proud she could say her whole name. When my grandma prompted her to say her last name, she proudly said it was "Don't Touch". Ouch LOL.
56. Motherhooduncensored said:
We're getting the "oops-sorry" - like it's all one word. The please? We're getting there. I get shivers everytime I say "What do you say" - since well, I sound eerily like my mother. Some things you just can't avoid, I guess.
57. carissa said:
PWEASE put back up the video of the reading and the wiggling toes!!! I didn't get to see it before but I finally figured out what I need to do to make it work (I was able to see the "twinkle twinkle" one, SO CUTE).
58. StampyDurst said:
Awesome clip. My friend Ruby is currently pottytraining her little girl. Today, we had lunch at a semi-busy mexican restaurant and she took Ruby Jr. to the potty. When they came back, Ruby Jr. announced proudly, "Sammy, I peed!" Of course I congratulated her. Then, more loudly and clearly, "Momma peed, too." So the restaurant and I congratulated Ruby.
You can potty train em, but you can't take em out.
59. Delusive said:
That audio clip made me laugh out loud, which is nice because I'm sad that 7th Heaven is over forever. Where else am I going to get corny family drama from now on? :(
60. Karihun said:
You guys make me want to figure out how to record my little guys babbling... even if at 9 months all he says is Da Da... What do I have to do to get a mama???
61. vegasandvenice said:
Okay she can have our car or our first born child ... do you think she is mature enough to care for a baby yet? (I mean she did say "please, that's right, huh" which sounds pretty darn mature to me!!!
62. kerry said:
how precious was that?
63. d-mode said:
Zzzzzz...
64. coelacanth said:
I caught the sarcasm, but I'm still interested to ask. Does anyone else find that using any degree of physical contact to discipline a child is the epitome of lazy parenting? I know the word stress often doesn't begin to do parenting justice, but are some adults so ignorant that they lose the battle of wits with their 2-year old so badly they need to hit the kid? I hope that serves to most of you as nothing more than a rhetorical question.
65. CJ said:
That is so cute! My kid, about Leta's age says peas. I know he means please so he gets the whatsit, but it's the shortest most condensed please. I love how Leta drew hers out. And the that's right huh ending was hilarious.
I also must thank you for the Chuck photo last Friday. Beautiful dog.
66. Kassi Gilbert said:
Now if you had said that you were putting ketchup in her bourbon, I would have been offended.
67. DelightfulJen said:
Yay for you, Heather!
As a future teacher, I'd like to thank you for teaching Leta manners, it's too often forgotten these day. You get the Parent of the Day award.
68. FlippyO said:
Okay, so I don't have any kids, but my African Grey says, "Love you, night-night, morning" when she's going to bed. We tell the birds each night, "I love you. Night-Night. See you in the morning." She prefers to make it her own. Sadly, our eight year old will always speak like a toddler, and occasionally poop on the floor.
69. Sarah said:
Precious!!! That's right, huh? :-)
70. Jake C. said:
THIS, THIS IS WHAT MAKES ME FINALLY SIGN UP FOR AN ACCOUNT TO COMMENT HERE!
That is just too damn hilarious, and quite adorable, that's right.
71. jozet said:
LOL! Well, at least she doesn't think her name is "Leta, no!"...which I've heard a few kids say when they do that adorable thing of referring to themselves in third person.
The little monkeys...they really are somewhere between tiny Einsteins and a big lab dog.
Cute video!
72. Sean Lovett said:
This is my first time to your site. It's great. I just read the "About this site" section. I have to say YES! Another person saved from the meat hooks of Mormonism. I know all about that myself. I used to live in the Orem/Provo area so you can imagine how bad that was. As for BYU, I've never received a ticket for smoking in my car anywhere else. Need I say more?
73. Nia G said:
I notice the sponge thing when the small English children wot frequent my office began swearing in Serbian.
More power to them, their accent was pretty good.
74. jomama said:
I haven't been able to view any of the videos you put on your site and now your audio clip crashes my computer. Are you and Windows out to get me?
I wish I had something clever to say that includes "Please, that's right!" but it's 5:30am and I've got nothing. So I'll just tell you to have a good day.
75. the kim half of glamorouse said:
It's just the beginning. By the time they are "almost" 6 they say "can we move on now?". For example:
Me: How was your day at school today, Felix?
Felix: Good. (pause) And not so good.
Me: What was the best part?
Felix: Playing with Liam at recess and lunch.
Me: And what was the part that wasn't so good.
Felix: Having to sit still.
Me: Yeah, that can be hard sometimes.
Felix: Can we move on now?
Along with "let it go", "move away", "I'm not your slave" and so on and so forth.
76. kim from germany said:
i still think little kids speaking english is one of the cutest things EVER. it's cute in german, but english... makes my heart melt. that's right!
77. Bluevartouhi said:
I thought my computer was going to explode with the cuteness...
78. Shana Banana said:
Pweeeease... that's right, huh? OH MY GOSH! She is really the sweetest. Madison just looks at you when you ask her " what do you say?" and repeats it. " What do you say Mommy? " I can't wait until the terrible twos.
79. minxlj said:
Someone had a good idea, that could be a good dance track...
Leta is just too cute. But wait until she's older and saying things that you CAN'T broadcast on the internet. It'll won't be so cute, just funny...
80. meganlc said:
I hope you're saving these comments to show Leta when she's a wretched teen. You can say, 'See? Even the Internet thought you were cute once!'
The audio and video posts are really enhancing the site Heather, keep it up!
81. Liz said:
Oh, my God. My daughter does this same thing, with a slight variation:
"What do you say? Pleeaaaassse!! Very good!"
The please part comes out like "Sheeeeeezzzhh!" which really belies her exasperation with this whole routine, I think...
82. Anne Glamore said:
That's the greatest. Each of my 3 boys said "uh-oh!" first. I take this to mean I'm a huge klutz.
83. Brad Martin said:
I think I might have thrown up a little from how cute that was.
84. Karen Rani said:
That is adorable. Lately Troll Baby has been saying "Peas Fank You." I love this age - so much more fun than cracked nipples and no sleep!
85. Snickrsnack Katie said:
That was too cute. Leta sounds like a little girl now! My 17 month old niece says "Where AH you?" and runs around the house looking for whoever it is that she can't see or find at the moment. When she finds whoever it is she is looking for, she says "AHHH!" The kid knows she is smart, I swear. The other day I caught her saying "Where AH you doggie?" as she chased the poor dog around the living room.
86. katehopeeden said:
My daughter starts with "gimmie, gimmie, gimmie, gimmie" and will only throw on the obligatory please when prompted.
But whenever you ask her if she wants anything that she doesn't, she always responds with "no thank you."
So, I must be doing SOMETHING right :)

ooh! more leta audio! please, that's right...
89. SuburbanTurmoil said:
I just love the "Pweeses." My two-year-old has taken to drawing it out if she doesn't get what she wants, "Pweese? Pah-weeese? Pahhhh-WEEEEEEEESE?"
90. Joyous said:
She is so Damn Cute!!!
I love starting my morning reading your blog! It always makes me laugh.
91. smoness said:
This is hilarious! What else can you teach her for us?!
92. Brian said:
We always say "YAY!" when our daughter Reilly falls down to circumvent any crying.
After reading your entry, I'm now afraid that she'll shout "YAY!" when other kids fall down on the playground.
Also, I'm sure I'm not the first to suggest this, but you have to enter Chuck in the Old Navy new mascot competition. He's perfect. (Not that you didn't already know that.)
93. yogurtweaver said:
Can I second Carissa's request for you to put the 'I read' video clip back up? Oh pwee....
In our family, outerwear is still referred to as 'coat-on', 'hat-on', 'gloves-on' etc even though it's nearly 20 years since my brother picked it up from my parents saying 'let's put your coat on' every time they left the house. Old habits die hard!
94. Stu mark said:
First, I really do dig the "...please, that's right, huh?"... Thanks for sharing these moments, they really brighten the day, like fresh flowers.
Second, bravo on your blog. I find it a terrific part of my day and I appreciate your willingness to be so excellent at it. Thanks.
95. destiny said:
Well that is better than saying the ever famous Compton style, "Please Biotch, Aight".

my ovaries just melted!
97. Mack'sMom said:
My 2-year old duaghter now says her please and thank you together.
"Mamma apple? Pees. Tit-u"
"Pees Daddy, candy. Tit-u"
She has her manners down, just a little mixed up...like her parents.
98. Dana said:
When my niece was Leta's age she picked up on everything. I soon realized that I said 'No way' and 'Rock on" far too often.
Thanks for sharing your life. I love multimedia blogs, which is something I need to get going on my own.
99. Krisco said:
That's cute.
My little girls say "UHNH!" every time they lift something up, because, apparently, that's what I do every time I lift up one of them. Oops!
100. Mack'sMom said:
Oh, and we live in Minnesota so you can only imagine the poor Fargo-like accent she has been revealing! There's no such thing as YES, she went directly to the "Yea" but with the northerly pronunciation of "Yah!" When she finishes it off with a "Sure ya'betcha" I'll have to start keeping her away from her grandparents!
101. jenny said:
I don't have any kids yet of my own, but I've spent a lot of time with four-year-olds and up. I was amazed this weekend, however, when I volunteered at a day care center for 1-2 year olds. At first I thought it would be boring, because most of the kids weren't old enough to talk in ways that would be understood by anyone but their parents. But then I started interacting with them, and I realized that, even though they weren't saying much (that was comprehensible) back, their little brains were working at five times the speed of ours. Every time I said something to one little boy (who was a little older than the rest), he would repeat it back slowly, kind of nodding his head as if he was considering it very carefully. He repeated and processed every single word that he heard. But what amazed me most was that every time I'd pick up one of the kids to put them in a chair or whatever, I'd make a little noise. There was one girl who I hadn't really interacted with yet, but the first time I picked her up, she beat me to it--making exactly the same noise I had made when I had picked up the other kids.
And as I sat through therapy yesterday, hashing over all the bad habits I've picked up from my own parents, I thought, well, it's just no surprise at all that I'm like them. Yes, their habits are filtered through my own personality, but still. In very many ways, raising kids is like programming a tiny, stubborn robot.
102. blackbeltmama said:
I can never hear the audios and am bummed about it because the video clips are so darn cute! Congrats on the whole asking to go to bed thing. It's so wonderful when they do that on their own!
103. Stenar said:
Southern accent? I don't detect any southern accent in Heather's voice, but then I live in SLC, too and it sounds like a typical SLC accent to me.
104. gordon said:
I am personally worried about the fact that our 3 dogs and my cat get a better and much louder reaction from my 7-month old when they come into the room than when I come in the room. I think the 7 month old thinks she is a cat (or at least a dog...certinally not human)
105. Tiggerlane said:
Great!! I agree --- this could be the beginning of a club hit. She has a certain rhythm in her voice!
Really amazing how sponge-like children are at that age. Then they become like a super-mega-defense sheilds as they mature - where everything you say is immediately rebuffed and contradicted.
106. Susan D. said:
My kiddo is 2 1/2 and lately we've gone beyond Please and Thank you to "Mama, please may I have a cookie?" or "Daddy, please may I watch Wiggles?" It comes out "Mamma please cookie" but it works for me. The payoff was the day he started adding "certainly!" to the end of his requests. Guess I need to pick a new word. He already says "I welcome" after he says "Thank You." Amazing little sponges, aren't they?
107. Tammytalksalot said:
How adorable... Dooce, I am a longtime fan and I have to say Leta is so adorable! You're a great mom!
108. Ms.Black said:
I have a 3-year old that when I say, "ask nicely," he says, "ask nicely." I know my blabbing about manners does nothing more than fill dead air space. I hope his school doesn't mind that he says, "I love your shit." Who needs 'please' anyway?
109. lyndsey_elise said:
In order for our 2 year old to say words correctly, my husband and I will often repeat back what she's has asked for:
Daughter: Muk, please!
Us: Do you want milk?
Daughter: Sure, o.k.!
Like it was our idea in the first place.
110. amanda m said:
You know I totally think you could get her to say "smoke a bowl mommy" using this type of conditioning....ha-ha!
They catch on to what they hear, why just last week my son came home with a note from his teacher asking me to ask my son what he called a character they made up in class. (They’re working on synonyms...and this king was a very BAD king) So I asked him and my son with his hands on his hips proudly said, "BASTARD". We had a talk and quickly put that word on out dirty word list.
Thanks for sharing your precious daughter with us!
111. Tommy from Michigan said:
I cannot believe you serve your daughter bourbon without an age appropriate mixer.
112. monkey said:
I have the dilemma of either saying the word so Connor picks it up in his vocab or getting him to use "Please". (His brother is well known for his good manners, which I swear did not come from me.) Lately he's picking up his name. So if I say something his brother's, Connor will pick the item back up and emphatically say his version of Connor, which kinda sounds like "Cnnr". No vowels. At least I think it's "Connor". It could be "Go to hell lady, it's mine and I want it." Either way, at least he's communicating, right?
113. Amber said:
Dear Lord, she is cute.
When I have to remind Mini-Amber to say please, she loves to point it out if I don't say thank you in return. Or if she says thank you, then I'll hear "You're SUPOSTAH say you're welcome!" afterwards.
114. Jen said:
Thanks so much for sharing your life w/ Jon and Leta with the internet. I've been following your site for a while now, but Leta's little voice pushed me over the edge, and I had to comment. Absolutely the most beautiful, sweet little baby girl ever, my ovaries hurt too! Keep up the good work.
P.S. We share the same love of crap tv - I just have to have my ANTM, Law & Order, CSI...
115. sarahekite said:
AH! That's SO sweet!
116. RandiRed said:
I just love these little monsters. They are so scrumptious at this age it's amazingly fattening!
For awhile we were chuckling when our son, a month younger than your Leta, would say thank you. He would do wahtever it is he was doing and say 'Tank you' and then right after a 'Welcoe'. They just keep us rolling on the floor with laughter.

When I was 14, I had a babysitting job for twins named John and Katie. They were in the same class at kindergarten, and it took almost a year for their parents and me to convince them that "you may be seated" was NOT an integral part of the Pledge of Allegiance.

All that Leta cuteness in one tiny little audio clip!! Completely adorable!!
119. Vikki said:
My son is 4 and has always had really good pronunciation but the other day, I heard him drop a glass in the kitchen and say, "Geez dischrist". Clearly, he misunderstood that one. My daughter is just starting to talk and I can't wait! These are fun times...
120. LeafGirl77 said:
When my sister was young, she couldn't say "Yellow Thing"; it sounded like "Lellow Sing". I worked tirelessly to get her to say it properly... Obviously I didn't just take it for what it was worth.
Now?? I'd give anything to hear "Lellow Sing" again. But I seriously doubt a 16 year old would do that for me.
121. Paula Schmitt said:
How adorable is that?!
My daughter does the same thing and she is 4 yrs old now!
So sweet....

Too cute. Someone above mentioned something about "coat-on," etc. I used to always say, "Where's my bib-on?!" God, I must've been a cute child. ;)
And some people have mentioned your Southern accent...my Arkansan ears are wondering what accent??

Little Man (19 months) saw the reading/farting entry and was all "BABY!" When she sang Twinkle Twinkle, he applauded and gave a resounding "YAY!"
He heard this, pointed at the quicktime logo and said "Peas?Peas?" and gave a prompt "Dat doh" with a nod when it was done.
It's awesome to see our little ones learn and grow. :)
